If your kids are getting to the point this summer where they’re chanting “We’re bored!” then you need a new source of entertainment for them. Fortunately, there’s a new racing toy in stores called DaGeDar! This hot new toy comes to you courtesy of Cepia, the creative minds behind the popular ZhuZhu Pets. And it appeals to kids on several levels.

First, it’s a must-have for little “collectors”! My boys love to collect things like Pokemon cards and Silly Bandz. Now they can collect DaGeDar balls! You can purchase balls in sets like the one below and then trade them with friends.

Second, it appeals to kids who love racing! My boys like to race cars and play Mario Kart on their Nintendo DS, so they’re always looking for a new challenge in the racing world! Watch the following video of them racing their DaGeDar balls on their DaGeDar track set.

Finally, DaGeDar keeps kids’ interest because of its versatility. Not only is there a race track, but there are also spinners, launchers, and other items available. Kids can challenge each other, make up their own games, or just have fun setting their balls into motion! Gameplay ideas are also available HERE. Here’s what the balls look like in their spinners!

Kids can also transport their DaGeDar balls in a special carrying case so they can easily take them to camp or a friends’ house.

If your kids are ready for a new adventure this summer, introduce them to DaGeDar. They’ll have lots of fun with this “hot” new toy!
